Pleased to see the club tying down promising players long term.

Extremely impressive performance from this young lad! Bossed the midfield with sharp creative passing, can shield the ball under pressure and dribble his way out of it like a seasoned veteran.

I think that he would be a perfect for the Jorginho role in the future. Especially considering the fact that he can play those Fabrepasses we are missing and Jorginho can´t play them.

I dont doubt his footballing ability, but he seems too slow at the moment for PL level football.

Slow in terms of what? Pace? He is actually pretty fast. Way faster than Jorginho and Kovacic. Or do you mean slow in terms of passing?

His passing is pretty good.

I did mean in terms of pace. I will have to watch him again, but just got a feeling of a lack of pace. Might be wrong.

His pace is decent from the games I have seen from him. He usually plays a little bit higher than his todays role. He still is not ready for PL football because he wents missing for some parts for the game and he should gain some leg muscles at least.

SFL is right. Billy showed Ross up a bit last night. Throughout the night he was far more likely to see the right pass and always executed his decision more quickly. Add that he was generally also more accurate than Ross and you'd have to agree with Frank

Billy put in a tremendous display last night but it was by far the best I've ever seen from him. I say 'but' because that makes it an exception. I've seen him play well before but never this well. We need to see this level repeated before we take it as an indicator of his general output.. Hats off to the lad however; by some distance the best player on the park last night.

In fact I thought the speed of his decision making and execution was the outstanding part of Billy's game last night. Ross, for example, does this thing where stops the ball, rolls it forward with the sole of his boot and then, finally, he plays from there. While he does all of that the picture in front of him is much changed and any runners have probably gone off side. That happened several times last night to runs made by Chris and Reece who had to check back. Billy saw those runs and used them. Occasionally with beautiful passes. Super impressive performance from the lad.

I agree, I regard yesterday as the end product version we hope to get in a few years. Watching him in PL2 this season for me he still has a lot of development to do in terms of week by week consistency.
